Solve (3*2-1)*(3*1/2-1)=5/2

$$( 3 \times 2 - 1 ) \times ( 3 \times \frac { 1 } { 2 } - 1 ) = \frac { 5 } { 2 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$\left(6-1\right)\left(3\times \frac{1}{2}-1\right)=\frac{5}{2}$$

Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.

$$5\left(3\times \frac{1}{2}-1\right)=\frac{5}{2}$$

Multiply 3 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{3}{2}.

$$5\left(\frac{3}{2}-1\right)=\frac{5}{2}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$5\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{2}{2}\right)=\frac{5}{2}$$

Since \frac{3}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$5\times \frac{3-2}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$$

Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.

$$5\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$$

Multiply 5 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{5}{2}.

$$\frac{5}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$$

Compare \frac{5}{2} and \frac{5}{2}.

$$\text{true}$$
